He may have parted ways with his former bosses Psquare, but it seems like Akinmayokun May D Awodumila hasn’t moved on as the pop singer still performs his former labelmate’s songs. During his performance at the recently held Felabration 2012, at the New Afrika Shrine on Friday, October 19, the pop singer kicked off his performance with Psquare’s ‘Do as I do‘ which features Tiwa Savage and himself. He then goes on to perform his first single ‘Soundtrack‘ before following with Psquare’s ‘Chop my money‘. He wrapped up his set with his hit single ‘Ile Ijo‘. What was more surprising was that the pop singer didn’t just perform his own cameo verses off the Psquare songs but the entire songs. The crowd however still seemed to be thrilled as they danced away. In August 2012, May D cut ties with Psquare after the label boss Jude Okoye released a statement that he had been dropped from Square Records. A month later, the gangly singer announced the launch of his new label Confam Entertainme...

Levante of Spain striker Obafemi Martins has heaped plaudits on the Super Eagles for mauling Liberia 6-1 in Calabar last Saturday to qualify for next year's Africa Cup of Nations in South Africa. Martins is particularly pleased with the work the team's gaffer,Stephen Keshi has done in transforming the Eagles to a scintillating team Nigerians saw on Saturday. “They deserve all the accolades they got from everybody and I want to add my voice to that.They did the unthinkable,scoring six times against a team that forced them to a 2-2 draw in the first leg.   “The result will not only bring confidence back to the fold but also shows that Stephen Keshi is really working hard to see that Nigeria reclaims her rightful position on the world map”,he said. While optimistic of getting a recall to the Eagles,Martins says he still has plenty of room for improvement at his new club after scoring two goals in his first three games. The 27-year-old striker who joined the La Liga side on a ...

Tiwa Savage is one of Nigeria’s most talented singers and songwriters. That she is beautiful is no news. She is an embodiment of sexiness and has a captivating aura and personality. Until recently Tiwa Savage had not been linked romantically with anyone, except if you count the rumoured-but -vehemently-denied relationship with Mavi n Records  boss Don Jazzy. Is that is about to change? The Mavin first lady was seen at the Elite Model Look 2012 recently held in Lagos in company of her beau Manager Tee Billz , and the pair looked like an Item – eye witnesses say they both stepped on the red carpet in style as they posed for photographs. Tiwa is usually alone on the red carpet so it really was a big deal this time, since she had company, as all attention quickly shifted to the couple, and the cameramen kept clicking away. Tiwa Savage and her manger Tee Billz seemed to enjoy all the attention, and he may have used that opportunity to pass on a message ...

The Lagos State Government has turned the house of the late Afrobeat legend, Fela Kuti, into a museum to “promote cultural heritage and mark the 74th birthday” of the legendary musician.

He noted that it was impossible to overstate the importance of Fela to Lagos and the global musical village. He said, “It is only appropriate to have chosen a day as this to declare this monument open today to ma...

Arsène Wenger has asked his network of scouts to search for another new striker ahead of the January transfer window as Arsenal continue the process of replacing Robin van Persie.    Although encouraged at how the goals have been spread more evenly around the team this season, Wenger would ideally still like further back-up to Olivier Giroud as the main centre-forward in his 4-2-3-1 system. Wenger has specifically told his scouts to be on the look-out for potential new attacking options over the coming months, with Fernando Llorente, Adrián López, Robert Lewandowski and Stevan Jovetic among those being monitored. The interest in signing another striker reflects an understanding that Giroud cannot be expected to instantly adapt to the Premier League, although his development over the next three months will inform how Wenger approaches the January market. Giroud scored his first Premier League goal in the 3-1 win at West Ham on Saturday...

Facebook just reached 1 Billion members. A pretty amazing feat when you consider it's only been around for 8 short years. During that time it has completely changed the world we live in...well at least for the small niche billion of us who use it. But that makes it as good a time as any to reflect on how we use such a powerful tool. Over the past decade we've probably seen more vices than virtues on display regarding our use of social networks. But, like a young student with anything new, it can take some trial and error before one starts getting it right. And no matter what kind of expert you are on online social networking, we're all young students at it. One thing's for sure, however, it's not going away. The way we share and connect with each other has been changed forever. But, while the technology and format may be very new, the point of it all is not.  Mark Zuckerberg, founder of Facebook, says this about it: "For the first time in our histo...
